Please place all sharp objects
in the tray / You do not need
to remove your shoes
Is that a full tube
of toothpaste / Step through
the metal detector
Is this your bag / You’ll have
to throw away the water
What is this object / The metal tines
are 4 millimeters too long / I’ll have to
confiscate it
Bad hair days ahead.
